“For the politically-challenged, let me spell it out: R-E-V-O-L-U-T-I-O-N. This country is in a state of upheaval. The liberal establishment - in both parties — has every reason to groan. Its days are numbered. Ring the bells. Out with the old, in with the new. These are exciting and oh, so encouraging times.” - Brent Bozell, President, Media Research Center
“Yesterday’s Delaware Senate primary outcome will shake up a lot of “moderate” Republicans and members of the ruling class. Of course the ruling class will attack the winner, as they always do, who beat one of their own — Karl Rove, himself a bona fide member, said it clearly when he opined that the winner had “serious character problems,” and would cause ordinary voters to not vote for our candidates because of ‘what they said and what they do.’ The outcome will also encourage conservatives who might have been reluctant to throw their hats in the ring. May the rest of those moderate Republicans quake in their boots!” - Al Regnery, Publisher, American Spectator magazine
“There is a grassroots movement in America gaining momentum. It is based on first principles — limited government, the rule of law and individual rights. It seeks redemption in the face of expansive government and it maintains a bipartisan spirit.As I see it the proponents of these positions are our contemporary Paul Reveres.” - Dr. Herbert London, President, Hudson Institute
“Christine O’Donnell’s victory in Tuesday’s Delaware Senate primary is but one more example of the desire for change that is very much on the minds of millions of Americans. From the initial tea parties to the rallies on the national mall, from the earliest primaries to yesterdays, Middle America has been saying over and over again, loud and clear, that they are fed up with business as usual in Washington and with the professional political class. There’s an energy present in the electorate that, if translated into political victories in November will send a new cadre of leaders to Washington with one mission: to take the government back from those who cannot be trusted any longer.” - Colin Hanna, President, Let Freedom Ring
“Christine O’Donnell’s victory last night sent a clear signal to Washington, D.C. that a candidate who stands unabashedly for pro-family and pro-life policies can and will be elected in a state like Delaware, which is considered moderate to liberal. Her victory was key for the pro-life movement and further demonstrates that Republicans and Americans are deeply troubled by abortion and human destructive research and those politicians’ who support such heinous practices. Her victory flies in the face of the Republican establishment who have chosen to leave the issue of abortion behind.” - Kristan Hawkins, Executive Director, Students for Life

"the ruling class will attack the winner..always do, .. -- Karl Rove, himself a bona fide member,.. said it ..the winner had "serious character problems," " And who was shouting in Jorge Bush's ear for the final 8 years when spending was outta sight. Perhaps he cannot tell a conservative from a liberal.

“It does conservatives little good to support candidates who, at the end of the day, while they may be conservative in their public statements, do not evince the characteristics of rectitude and truthfulness and sincerity and character the voters are looking for.”
“We were looking at eight to nine seats in the Senate. We’re now looking at seven to eight,” Rove said. “This is not a race we’re going to be able to win.”
Right Karl, Christine O’Donnell will be slaughtered and trounced by Coons just like she was ‘slaughtered and trounced’ by the GOP favorite RINO Mike Castle!
Karl Rove does NOT speak for the T.E.A. movement! He speaks for the corrupt GOP country club elite establishment that is the same as the corrupt Democrat progressive socialist wealthy elite establishment.
“We the People…” and the T.E.A. movements are sending ALL of these professional, political, parasites back (DEM & GOP)to their home states for good and we will prevail without the stinking GOP elite money!

I think Rove is channeling Joe Biden, but instead of the “Summer of Recovery” he is living the “Summer of the Rino.” I will wager the morning review of his e-mails is a horror. The across the board angry response from conservatives, Regan Democrats, Tea Party Constitutionalists surely are bad enough but the list of invitations to appear, comment, and pose for CNN, MSNBC and the Huffington post will sting the most. (Not to mention, of course, the pink slip concerning the gig on Castle’s campaign staff.) His debacle will not involve handcuffs as some on the left wished but Rubicon Rove is going on a well deserved forty five day “tea party frog march.”

what the rinos leave out is this...a true conservative republican party would already HOLD 55-60 seats in the senate...
if we end up with 49 fret not...democrats have to defend 25 of 33 seats 2 years from now...and that will prove impossible....
plus we get to purge ourselves of more rinos....
48 days til the votin starts

We are in our 70's and are disappointed at what has become of our present government (i.e.politicians ) Both parties are corrupt to the core. We will NOT be voting for Any incumbent. Any new congressmembers must prove themselves. And do not expect a government career. Two or three terms. Then go home!
